The ICW will be starting a series of events in 2023. These events will focus on sharing knowledge and experience on all things collaboration. They will be a mix of informal online ‘share and learn’ sessions, more formal webinar activities, and we will be reintroducing our in-person events later in the year. The in-person events will be on the road too, and we are looking to hold events not only in London but also in Leeds and Cardiff.

The events will be for our members, and their guests, to ensure a wider understanding of the benefits of collaboration, and how collaboration and collaborative working can make a real difference.

We are delighted to announce that Jill Clancy FICW, Associate Director of ICW, has taken up the role of Collaborative Events Leader. She will be organising these events and making sure they run smoothly - certainly a challenge but one that she is eager to take on having really benefited from ICW events in the past.

We aim to meet as many of our members’ requirements as possible, so the events will cover a variety of topics. Some events will be single topic, while others may focus on a particular sector or link topics to ensure a wider view. We will aim to share learning and experiences of the journey people have taken to successful collaboration, and on some very specific areas that members want to know more about. We will ensure that the events are in line with the ICW’s 4 key strategic aims: Social Value, Sustainability, EDI and Better Commercial Outcomes.
